Hello and welcome! I'm Jessica, a South Australian artist inspired by nature, magic, mystery, and the quiet power of creativity to heal and connect.

Art has always been a refuge for me, ever since I immigrated to Australia as a child, it became a way to express, process, and dream. That love has grown into a lifelong journey through painting, illustration, and community art.

Formerly known as Illustrator Jess, my creative practice has recently grown into a new chapter as Jessica Johnson Artist, a name that better reflects the heart of my work today.

I hold a Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication), and my artwork has been featured in the 40 and Under South Australian Living Artists (SALA) exhibition. Most recently, I held my first solo exhibition, "The Critter Collection," at Joy of Flora.

I’ve also taken part in wonderful events like the Victor Harbor Artisan Market, Hahndorf Academy Christmas Market, SA Art Market by Emma Hack, A Boutique Life Art Market, and the Etsy Twilight Market.

This year, I received a City of Adelaide grant to run Watercolour Wellness—a series of mindful art workshops exploring creativity and emotional well-being. I'm currently studying counselling and art therapy, continuing my passion for mental health and meaningful connection through art.

Feel free to explore my shop, sign up for upcoming workshops, or reach out about commissions and collaborations through my contact page. I’d love to hear from you!

Warmly,
Jessica
